90

Last weekend was Scott's Grandma's 90th birthday celebration! We have been hearing about it and planning it for months. We wanted this to be an amazing party for Grandma that she would never forget. On Saturday we had a big family party at a church in Salt Lake. We had TONS of family members from all over that we have never met before show up. It was a great thing to meet everyone and get to know distant relatives. They are all such nice people!



On Sunday we had a BBQ in the back yard. Scott and I put up the decor. He is pretty productive.


I love my nieces. I know I say it all the time... but I do. They are so fun to chill with. And not to mention the cutest girls ever.




They all had a blast playing in the sand box that uncle Ri-Ri cleaned out for them.


We had great food, great company and great fun!


The celebrating didn't end there tho! Monday night we all went out to dinner to Grandma's favorite restaurant- Joy Luck. (If you haven't tried it, I HIGHLY recommend it. Best Chinese food ever) We had a big group of family and friends show up for this night as well. This is Grandma, Aunt Chris, Mom and one of the waitresses with her birthday cake!





While we were mingling at the dinner party, I was chatting away at my youngest niece. She loves to give me smiles and giggles so I tried to catch it on camera. I would get her to smile so big and the minute I took the picture she would stick her tongue out at me. So cute.



We had a fabulous weekend of partying and celebrating our Grandmothers life. Grandma has always been SO sweet to me and treated me like family ever since I have known Scott. And while we were dating she was always so accepting and loving to me. She is the sweetest and most hilarious lady. We love her and hope she had a very Happy Birthday!
